Minnesota Cold (Part 15) Human Snowball

Minnesota, it’s so cold that… you can make a human snowball out of frozen towels and roll it down the hill with someone inside. Special thanks to Hugh Brown for going into the human snowball and Steve Carlisle for helping shoot some of the video.

Materials:

Large inflatable ball

Thin towels

Camping chairs

Watering can

Knife

Large hill

Cold temperatures

Steps:

Inflate a large inflatable ball. Start in the house, then move outside.

Cover the ball with layers of wet towels.

Cut a hatch in the towels so you can get in and out.

Pour water over the towels until a thicker layer of ice has formed (about 15 times).

Cut the hatch back open and bring your human snowball to a large hill.

Put someone inside of the human snowball (with a helmet), then cover the hatch with a wet towel.

Push them down the hill and help them get out if the ball doesn’t break.

Repeat if the ball isn’t crushed.

Helpful Hints:

Make sure it’s really cold. The towels and layers of ice freeze much faster that way.
